Initial start-up Messtechnik GmbH. • Periodic testing The METRISO PRO insulation and resistance measuring instru- ment allows for quick and efficient testing of protective measures • Troubleshooting in electrical systems in accordance with DIN VDE 0100, ÖVE-EN 1 (Austria), SEV 1000 (Switzerland), and regulations specific to other countries as well.
Safety Features and Precautions The electronic measuring and test instrument is manufactured Meanings of Symbols on the Instrument and tested in accordance with safety regulations IEC/EN 61010- Warning concerning a point of danger 1/VDE 0411-1 and EN 61557. When used for its intended pur- (attention, observe documentation!) pose, safety of the operator, as well as that of the instrument, is assured.
Initial Start-Up Eight 1.5 V size AA batteries in accordance with IEC LR 6 are required for operation of the insulation measuring instrument. Use new alkaline manganese batteries only. Battery Test Rechargeable NiCd or NiMH batteries may also be used. These A battery test should be conducted after inserting the batteries, or can only be recharged externally.
General Operation The test leads are connected to the “+” and “COM” jacks. The instrument can be switched off manually by turning the rotary switch to the OFF position. When measuring electrostatic discharge capacity for floor For purposes of transport and maintenance, we recommend turn- coverings, the shielded cable ing the rotary selector switch to the OFF position in order to avoid should also be connected to...

Insulation Resistance Measurement – Riso/Rins Function Attention! Do not touch the instrument’s terminal contacts or the Connection conductive ends of the two test probes during insulation resistance measurement! Note Checking the Measurement Cables If nothing has been connected to the terminal contacts, or if a Before performing insulation measurement, the test resistive load component has been connected for measurement, probes on the measurement cables should be short-cir-...
